most "fixed" posts don't exponentially improve upon the original post. This one did.
Serious question: can you guys seriously look at Windows 8 & Android 4.0 and not start to cob-webs forming over your iOS device?
iOS is seriously in need of a major revamping, this is common consensus amongst us all, right?
A5X was rumored to be a Dual Core but ramped up. A6 was a Quad Core...
Ah... well fuck if true. Unless there's going to be both A5X and A6 versions.
I guess we'll have to wait for Wednesday. But still.

How are my ipad apps gonna look with the higher resolution? Plz don't look like iphone apps on my ipad.
To those scoffing at the idea of iPad having real competition. Don't count Windows 8 out.

Probably worse...

Do you think it will look as bad as the iphone to ipad? Also what is the likelihood I have to rebuy all my ipad apps for the higher resolution?
Not really, I'm not looking for a world beating, do it all type of experience from a tablet. I like the simple, casual computing that the iPad offers. If there's one thing I would like to see in ios it's widgets, beyond that I'm pretty happy with it. I don't see tablets replacing the workhorse nature of pc/macs and I don't want them to. I'd rather they be two well defined product categories rather than a one size fits all approach.
Here's some good articles you dudes should read:No, it's not a consensus at all. I own an HP touchpad running both WebOS and Android 4.0 and an HP playbook. Sure, they all have their pros and cons. But honestly I see nothing from other players that makes iOS look like it has 'cobwebs'. For the less technically inclined, it's still the most intuitive and simple to use OS by far. No doubt iOS6 is well underway, but beyond things like a faster way to multitask, there's nothing I find majorly lacking on an OS level compare to everyone else. I'm on some app the majority of the time, not staring at the home screen. I'm glad Microsoft is innovating with Windows 8, but it was primarily as a response to iOS, from the horses mouth. Apple progress iOS on its own timeline and on its own terms.

..Pardon me?Sharing: It seems to me that Apple will be extending ML's sharing APIs which are based on the twitter integration they did in iOS5 back to iOS6, so the first article is pretty much moot.
It looks boring and stale compared to ICS and Win 8.Homescreen: I think there are some things Apple could do to enhance the homescreen, more live icons maybe, and a better mechanism for quickly organizing them. However, the homescreen is one of the best things they did with iOS and is part of the popularity in the platform.
E-mail: third-party app would fix thatComparison: Frankly I didn't really see much difference in the capabilities of Win8 and iOS. Win8 has a feature where you can kind of split the display to showing 1 and a quarter apps. iOS when it comes to email composition, webpage rendering, account management, etc is STILL more robust than Microsoft's "Full OS" Win8. Make of it what you will.
I figure their tablet fortunes will at least be better than their phone fortunes just because Android isn't really established in the tablet space. They're doing enough things that seem to be good that they could get some traction as the main iOS alternative, they could be doing some stuff wrong but for a sort of 1.0 restart overall they have a lot of promise.I do like Metro, but I think Microsofts tablet fortunes with WOA will not be very good and it is tied directly to their decision to leave the desktop in there.
As soon as someone who was looking for an ipad-type experience gets dumped to the Windows desktop to run Word or to change a network setting not available in the Metro settings (just the fact there are two settings locations is baffling to me) there will be confusion, disappointment and unhappy customers.
Everything Ive seen of the consumer preview reinforces my opinion that the WOA devices should have broken off the desktop completely. not doing this will hurt them against the iPad. I would bet on this.
A number and a letter.So in English terms, what's the difference between an A6 and an A5X?
iOS can take advantage of however many cores, like rendering a webpage could have a few threads going at once which would get spread out over the cores...it's just that not everything is easily parallelized. In the case of mobile devices I'd rather have less higher clocked cores than many slower ones, it'd probably feel faster in more instances than the quad core would be. This is why Intel has the turbo boost stuff, they have many cores available when necessary, or can clock up fewer cores when that would be faster.Does dual vs quad core matter that much? With the way iOS is now? It's basically a single-tasking OS. I'll be more than happy with a beefy graphics chip, which is the most important part of the soc, considering the newly quadrupled number of pixels it needs to push. Obviously specs aren't as important to Apple as delivering an exceptional user experience.
Yeah it's probably linked to the core generation rather than anything to do with number of cores (like would a Core 2 quad not be a Core 2 CPU anymore?). I could see the A5X being a quad A9 while the dual rumors could've been referring to the A6 (with dual A15) starting development or something (SoCs take a long time)...or it just the old dual core A5 going into the Apple TV, who knows.I wouldn't say that's the difference. It seems to me that it is more likely that the A5 refers to processors based off of the ARM Cortex-A9, and that they are reserving the name A6 for those based on the ARM Cortex-A15. The A5X could be an enhanced dual or a quad core A5. I think it will likely be at dual core with a 453MP4, but I'm not so quick to count out the quad core possibility yet.
It'll probably look like how old iPhone apps looked when the iPhone 4 came out. Native UI elements would be able to display full resolution along with high res assets (if the dev was smart enough to include them already), other stuff would be pixel doubled when necessary.How are my ipad apps gonna look with the higher resolution? Plz don't look like iphone apps on my ipad.
I don't know if you guys follow asymco or the podcast, critical path. But Marco laid down a prediction (which is sorta rare for him) that this thing will branded iPad 2S, or something similar. And not iPad3.
..Pardon me?

Widgets, live icons and a shift from garbage skeumorphism to digital is what I want.

Webpage: we all know IE sucks, but you know what Win 8 allows? You could actually put a real Chrome on Win 8. Not just a re-wrap of IE.
ICS is black and teal with a terrible font, Win8 is flat solid colored rectangles. I guess we have different ideas of boring and stale.
If Win8 or ICS is what you want, have at it - I won't stop you, personally I prefer iOS, and I think many others do also. It's a good thing we have choice.
Many of the developers, designers and writers for the iOS universe are chiming in and saying iOS is beginning to get stale..It's consensus amongst the entire tech world.
Try and deny it all you want but Apple has to get some shit done, because as it stands they are getting usurped by Google & MS in one of their key areas -- design.
The screen better be laminated on the iPad 3.
Most don't think about the laminated screen, but I believe it's one of the prerequisites for "retina".

I thought you Apple guys had an eye for design? How does some of the stuff in iOS not make you cringe with it's utter blandness?
Windows 8 Lockscreen:
Ice Cream Sandwich Lockscreen:
iPad Lockscreen:
Yeah right, iOS changes so quickly. Last year at this time notification center didn't exist.
Now its coming to the Mac.
Say all you want about iOS and I won't contest you, but you better recognize how quickly that shit evolves, my fellow dude.
That's cute, but where's the consensus?I thought you Apple guys had an eye for design? How does some of the stuff in iOS not make you cringe with it's utter blandness?
Minor updates, and notification center looks like blegh and Android still handles them better (and prettier!)
If iOS 6 isn't a game changer, I'm taking my phone money to ICS and my tablet money to Win 8.
iOS updates are nothing compared to Android.It was just an example. I just find it curious you refer to a rapidly evolving operating system as "stale." I've been with the OS since Day one (with a two year android hiatus) and its a constantly moving platform. That was my real point. It is literally in motion as we speak.
That's cute, but where's the consensus?
I like how Garbaga skips all of my posts.
Go find it.
It's unfortunate that your argument sank down the Challenger Deep. Maybe James Cameron will retrieve it?Go find it.
Sorry, stop right there. As adults, when we make a claim we back it up with evidence. We are not allowed to make a claim, and then tell people to prove you wrong - this is not how mature people act.
I don't have the time to dig up all the stuff I've been reading the past few months.
